Waris Ahluwalia, the all-encompassing creative, has collaborated on a short film with a bevy of his glitterati friends as part of his new duties as a `global explorer' for Starwood's Luxury Collection of Hotels and Resorts.

"It's a story of a girls traveling through America, it's a love story, a treasure hunt, and a cross-country journey," Ahluwalia explained over lunch yesterday afternoon. Conceptualized as a group effort between Ahluwalia, Tilda Swinton, Sandro Kopp and director, Luca Guadagnino, the tranquil film tracks Deyn as she follows a string of anonymous love letters that lead her cross-country—stopping at three lush resorts along the way. Beginning with falconry the Equinox Resort & Spa in Vermont, moving on to the Phoenician in Scottsdale, and then culminating amongst rich palms and greenery at The Royal Hawaiian Resort, Deyn pouts and prevails (sans dialogue) throughout her entire luxuriant all-American adventure.

Despite modest efforts, Ahluwalia didn't get away without a featured role. Though his face remains unseen, the jewelry designer's hands play a starring role in the film as the only glimpse of Deyn's lover. Though we prodded to find out if Ahluwalia had a pre-filming hand-beauty routine (with good reason- they're of model quality), the designer insisted that there were no heavy moisturizers on-set for his a mano close-up. Graciously segueing back to the film, he elaborated, "I'm a story teller, it doesn't matter if it's jewelry or a short film—they all tell a tale."
